So, if you don't know by now... I run a design house in Santa Barbara (see it here or here). One of the things I LOVE. Love. love. is event design. My little sister (and my best friend in the whole wide world) was turning 24... I thought a surprise brunch in her favorite color {green} at her favorite restaurant (Blush of Santa Barbara) was in order. I whipped up a theme, stuck with the color ... Read the Post
HOW TO – MAKEOVER A BROWN PAPER BAG
I always seek originality when giving a gift. A gift, even the wrapping, should feel personalized. This is especially true on Valentine's Day... a day when the whole point is to show someone that you took a little extra time to show them you love them. I decided to hit up the local craft store and buy some glittery paper, some V-Day style glittery hearts, and some brown paper bags. Then I let ... Read the Post

And just enough quirky elements to give the room some character. ... Read the Post
How To: Make a Display Board
I was facing a conundrum commonly faced by young accessory laden women... I didn't know where to put all of my necklaces. I had the standard jewelry box solution covered... But there were some long, dramatic necklaces that were too pretty to be put away. And so my jewelry board was born. Simply purchase a cork board (I got mine from Michael's) and paint the wooden trim whatever color tickles ... Read the Post
Christmas Decor for the Girls
Who says Christmas has to be all red and green and holly-jolly? Not me! I threw a little Cupcakes and Champagne party for my best friends before we went out for a night on the town. I stuck with vintage lace, preppy blue and white striped fabric, hot pink satin ribbon, candles, and lots of glitter and sequins. Jazzy Christmas music (Eartha Kitt, Ella Fitgerald, Louis Armstrong) played in the ... Read the Post
